Hopefully this will push their prices down to make them more competitive.
Competitive to whom?,... the girls who DON'T charge? ???,... haha ;D
In the words of George Harrison:
If you get a head,
I'll tax your hat
If you get a pet, I'll tax your cat
If you wipe your feet,
I'll tax your mat
If you're overweight, I'll tax your fat
It's not exactly a tax though, more a charge for use of city property (the footpath).

If the government requires payment with the express purpose of raising revenue, it's a tax, no matter what other name it may be given.

Would you mind explaining that to the local municipalites around here who seem to think that it's not a tax if they call it a fee or assessment?
